🌿 Sustainable Heritage Tourism Consulting
Bringing Cultural Places to Life — With Purpose, Story, and Care
I’m Vasilka Dimitrovska, archaeologist, heritage interpreter, and consultant for sustainable tourism development. With over 15 years of experience in the Balkans, I help destinations, institutions, and communities transform heritage into meaningful, responsible tourism experiences.
I work at the intersection of cultural storytelling, education, and sustainable tourism — making sure that every place tells its story in a way that respects the past, engages the present, and inspires the future.
🔧 What I Can Do for You
🗺️ Sustainable Tourism Development
I support the creation of cultural tourism products that are:
- Rooted in local identity and heritage
- Designed with community involvement
- Environmentally and socially responsible
- Ready for international audiences and partnerships
Whether you’re developing a rural site, planning a cultural route, or revitalizing a museum — I help you create experiences with long-term value.
🧩 Creative Heritage Experiences
I produce unique activities and programs that connect visitors with heritage through:
- Gamified team-building at archaeological and historical sites
- Hands-on workshops based on traditional crafts and prehistoric skills
- Storytelling performances and living history enactments
- Seasonal cultural tourism campaigns and special events
Each experience is designed to be engaging, educational, and emotionally resonant.
🧭 Interpretation & Storytelling
I design and implement heritage interpretation strategies that:
- Reveal the deeper meanings behind heritage
- Attract emotionally engaged visitors
- Combine tradition with creative tools (digital, visual, live)
- Support UNESCO values and EU standards for interpretation
From signage and panels to guided walks and gamified quests — each solution is tailored and site-specific.
🎓 Training & Capacity Building
I lead hands-on workshops and professional development programs for:
- Museum staff and cultural workers
- Tourist guides and site managers
- NGOs, educators, and youth facilitators
All trainings are grounded in the principles of value-based heritage interpretation, storytelling, and sustainable visitor engagement.
You don’t need “just a tour” or “just a project.”
You need something that makes sense, makes people care, and makes a difference.
